How do I watch streaming divx with VLC?

I tried using open network and copying and pasting the url but that didn't seem to work. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

P.S. I searched but I guess this question is just too noob ;-)

hi

why not just download divx

and let it stream away?

regards

I tried but I couldn't get it to work on my macbook. The install went seamless, but whenever i hit play it just stays on the "connecting" screen. I have deleted it and reinstalled it, but to no avail.
